hi guys

 

just had a msg now from EA-UTAbuse psn (gamertag) saying my account from ea  will be blocked unless i give them my PSN Email and password which i find kinda strange seen as i havent actually sent any abusive messages just been owning loads of ppl on fifa ultimate team......anyway ive sent my point across that if they are real....its ridculous to ask for you details over psn msgs....they keep sending long worded and official sounding replys quite frankly if it is true id rather be blocked than risk getting scammed!

 

any views?


Anyone requesting your password for whatever reason is a scammer

don't reply to it, don't pass on your password/signin details to anyone via PSN,

 

report them using the grief report option

 

click on message on xmb

>press triangle scroll down to grief report

>then follow on screen prompts

 

 

no-one official from Sony or any developers will ask you for your details/passwords via PSN however tempting the message maybe.

 

btw welcome to the forums....:Thumbs:

Just for every one who is not sure.

Sony are stabbing their loyal family customers in the back - We have 3 PS3s and 3 PSPs all on the same IP address and all registered with Sony. Why can't we use them at the same time anymore?

THIS ^

Plus if anything, they'd email you through your own email asking you to get in touch with them. So ignore EVERY message that comes through asking for personal details, claiming you've won anything or they're gunna 'hack you'.
